(HealthDay News) -- Every state requires that infants and children who ride in a car buckle up. But the laws vary when it comes to child safety seats. Using a safety seat can help prevent injuries to a young child, but the device must be used correctly. Here are some suggestions, courtesy of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia : Restrain your child on every trip, every time, keep your child in the back seat, use the best safety restraint for your child's size, and your child should use the seat until she reaches the maximum weight for the device, as long as the top of her head is below the top of the seat's back.
